Dialectic with Jackson Dahl

Tina He (@fakepixels) is a designer, entrepreneur, writer, New Yorker, philosopher, and above all, citizen of the internet.

She leads developer tools at Base, which she joined via acquisition of her company, Station Labs.

She's recommended more inspiring writing than anyone I know, and Tina lives with a seriousness and devotion that I admire deeply.

Dialectic Ep. 5 is out now.

How does @fakepixels live in the philosophical world of ideas and the pragmatic world of action?

 "I think the philosophical side is about interpreting or seeing realities—plural, and the doer and operator side is about defining reality—singular.

That is a very empowering idea."

NYPD have completely misunderstood modern memetics. 

The images they are producing with this level of show and spotlight is creating a huge incentive to repeat, basically the opposite of the intended effect.

Ava is one of my favorite writers. She writes full-time for her Substack, Bookbear Express.

In recent years, I'm not sure I've recommended anyone to friends and loved ones more, and it seems like the world agrees: she just crossed 30K subscribers.

It was fun to read some excerpts back to her throughout the interview.

We cover a ton of ground, including writing, consistency, commitment, friendship, authenticity, self-respect, taste, beauty, and much more. Enjoy!

Ava on taste: 

"To me like that's sort of the thing that's interesting like someone with a really interesting interior life."

"They are alive in that."

@jackson’s podcast is awesome for two reasons:

1. He asks great questions. They aren’t just “deep,” but they’re the kinds of questions I’d want to ask. 

2. It’s one of the few podcasts with a host who shares my interests and wider “scenes.” 

Please keep it up!
